Meet Christina

Since 2005, Christina Vargas has been teaching yoga and sharing her passion and love for helping others live a harmonious life of balance through self-care and self-love through the lens of yoga and ayurveda.

As a child, Christina was eager to be in the garden with her grandparents and often would make potpourri and other “medicine mixtures” from her grandmother’s flower garden. Her favorite place in the home was the kitchen and she knew she would be in the healthcare industry one day. It was when she returned from teacher training in 2005 when she was introduced to Ayurveda that her life was changed forever. Discovering this healing science that has been practiced in India for more than 5,000 years was the catalyst for SimpleVeda.

Recipes

Chia or “strength” as it is called in the ancient Mayan culture has amazing benefits in our modern world. As a busy mom, I’m all about simple recipes that don’t take a lot of time but that have a powerful nutritional impact! This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes, especially as we move from the winter, cooler months, into warmer weather. The pitta dosha benefits from cooler foods that have a sweet taste and let’s face it, sometimes you just don’t want a hot bowl oatmeal on a warm summers day!

“It took me back to my grandma’s kitchen and I brought it back in my bag (the 2 spice Kits), and the feeling of euphoria I had while listening and watching you cook stayed with me all day!! I am thankful to you for the positive loving and spiritual environment you created in there, and I don’t know what other magic was in there but if I knew I’d package it up and recreate it daily!!!”

“Christina was very helpful. In the 8 months or so that I met with her she gave me personalized changes one small step at a time. I believe this is the reason that the practices stuck and truly became “lifestyle changes” instead of fads or overwhelming goals.”

“She is knowledgeable and was always exited to share the ayurvedic knowledge. The good thing about her is that she feels the responsibility towards her clients and always wants them to be healthy and would do her best to provide the details. For me she had bundled the package so well that without taking a pill I could see the difference. She would say, “food is medicine” and over a course of time I could see that happening. “
